类风湿性关节炎患者的早期功能评估

Function assessment of rheumatoid arthritis in the early stage

对50例类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者分别用Signals of Functional Impairment(SOFI)和修正Standford HAQ功能指数两种方法进行功能评估比较,认为对早期RA患者用SOFI评估方法较好。在同一天内由同一观察者进行SOFI评估3次,做方差分析,各对比组P值大于0.05,故SOFI的重复性较好。另外,SOFI和修正Standford HAQ功能指数评估结果的离散系数相似,说明两种评估方法的稳定性差别较小。

50 cases rhenamtoid arthritis (RA) patients were tested with Signal of Function Impairment (SOFI) and modified Standford Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). It was found that SOFI was more suitable to early RA patients than Standford HAQ. The SOFI assessment was carried out three times by the same observer in the rame day. The results of variance analysis showed their difference was non-significant (P<0.05). The results of repetition assessments showed better similarly than that of Standford HAQ disability index. There was no difference between the coefficient of dispersion of SOFI assessment and the Staudford HAQ disability index.
